The BWG-M1 Micro is the landscape and nature photographers dream
companion, opening endless possibilities for fluid motion with telephoto
lenses, while keeping your ballhead handy for wide-angle shots.
Considering that many photographers are already armed with a good
ballhead and tripod, the addition of the BWG-M1 benefits them by
converting their Arca-Swiss style ballhead to a fully functional gimbal head.
The perfect travel companion, it easily fits into small pockets of your
existing bags without adding undue weight. No tools required for installation!

We highly recommend a very good quality ballhead with smooth and
free-moving panning motion for this product. A cheap ballhead that is
very stiff in panning will make a lousy gimbal head.

Ballheads that incorporate push-button safety catches in the Arca-Swiss clamp will generally NOT WORK with this product.

Make sure your ballhead has a very securely attached quick-release
clamp and ball. Some ballhead clamps are attached with only a single
flimsy screw that makes the clamp pivot on the ball itself. This may
lead to damage or failure of the ballhead. Again, we stress that a high
quality ballhead is mandatory.

We do not recommend using Cam-Action quick releases with the BWG-M1.
Although we very precisely match the RRS quick release clamping system
in profile, we cannot guarantee that all cam-levers will actuate in the
same tolerance range in every situation. We highly recommend Arca-Swiss style clamps with regular screw-knobs.

Ballheads with Manfrotto, Bogen, or other Round, Hex, Square
or proprietary clamping plates WILL NOT WORK with the BWG-M1. We do not
recommend stacking adapters to make your own system.
